Eclipse: Turning Solana into an Ethereum Layer 2

Eclipse is focused on transforming the powerful Solana L1 into a fully verifiable Ethereum Layer 2. By leveraging the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), Eclipse aims to achieve parallelism and shorter block times, providing superior throughput and performance compared to existing EVM-based rollups. The goal is to support a wide range of applications while avoiding fragmentation of liquidity and improving user experience. Eclipse plans to target both Solana developers looking to go multichain and EVM developers, encouraging them to recompile contracts to Eclipse's bytecode and take advantage of the faster and cheaper execution. The team is also interested in exploring future additions, such as incorporating upgrades like Firedancer, to further enhance the capabilities and scalability of the Eclipse L2.
